As you step through the grand entrance of the Willard InterContinental Washington by IHG, the whispers of the past meet the luxuries of the present. Nestled just two blocks from the iconic White House, this venerable hotel offers a stay that’s as rich in history as it is in opulence.

From the moment you arrive, the Willard InterContinental’s imposing Beaux-Arts architecture asserts itself, setting the stage for a truly presidential experience. The lobby, with its intricate marble floors and majestic columns, exudes a sense of grandeur that has welcomed world leaders and cultural icons alike. Each guest room and suite continues this narrative of elegance, with plush fabrics, regal hues, and panoramic views of Washington D.C.’s storied streets.

Your culinary journey at the Willard mirrors the city’s own blend of history and modernity. At Café du Parc, indulge in exquisitely prepared French cuisine while watching the bustling life of Pennsylvania Avenue through floor-to-ceiling windows. As evening falls, the intimate setting of the Round Robin Bar invites you to enjoy a cocktail, its storied past echoed in the refined tastes of its signature mint juleps—a favorite of many past U.S. Presidents.

Beyond the sumptuous dining options, the hotel’s amenities ensure your every need is catered to with impeccable service. The 24-hour fitness center and sauna provide a private escape, while the concierge can secure exclusive access to some of the capital’s most coveted attractions and shows. Whether it’s arranging a private tour of the Smithsonian or securing a table at one of the city’s top restaurants, your desires are only a request away.

Exploring the surrounding area brings you face-to-face with the nation’s heritage. Stroll along the National Mall, visit the stirring memorials, or immerse yourself in the vibrant scenes of nearby Georgetown. Each landmark tells a story, each corner offers a new discovery, all within easy reach from the Willard’s revered doors.

As your day ends, the comfort of your luxurious room awaits. Drift off to sleep under high-thread-count linens, the city’s gentle hum a lullaby that reminds you of the exclusivity of your locale. Wake up refreshed, ready to sip freshly brewed coffee as you gaze out over the capital’s stirring landscape, the morning light casting a glow on the monuments that shape this great city.

A stay at the Willard InterContinental Washington by IHG is not just a visit; it’s an experience woven into the fabric of American history, wrapped in the luxuries of modern comfort. Here, every moment is steeped in significance, every stay leaves an indelible mark on your journey. Prepare to carry the memory of this unparalleled escape long after you’ve returned home.

What we love about this stay

Request a room on the Pennsylvania Avenue side—specifically a higher floor—and wait for dusk. Watching the White House light up from your window, just two blocks away, is a private spectacle that never gets old. At Café du Parc, skip the dining room and sit at the terrace facing the avenue; order the steak frites and a glass from their Burgundy selection. Mornings, come down early for the lobby—before 8 a.m. it's near-empty, and the Beaux-Arts grandeur feels like it belongs to you alone. This is a hotel where power brokers have lingered for over a century, and when you settle into the Round Robin Bar for a mint julep—the drink they've been pouring here since before Prohibition—you'll understand why no one's found a reason to leave.
